Quite simply - the world’s largest annual indoor show! Featuring over 2,000 world-class Canadian and international military and civilian performers, the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo continues to live up to its reputation as one of the world’s premier cultural and entertainment events.
It is a fast-paced, two-and-a-half hour family show featuring music, dance, acrobatics, drama and comedy in a number of innovative acts.
First staged in 1979, when Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother opened the original Nova Scotia Tattoo, it became the Nova Scotia International Tattoo in 1984 and on the occasion of her 80th Birthday in 2006, Her Majesty The Queen changed the name to the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo. Arms: The white (heraldic silver) represents the Tattoo's 25th anniversary. Blue and white are the colours of Nova Scotia, with the blue also evoking the Nova Scotia tartan. The gold symbolizes the colour of the brass instruments played by the bands at the Tattoo. The diagonal pattern reflects the intricate crossover of musicians marching that is often a feature of presentations. The pattern of diagonals is a subtle reference to the tartans worn by participants at the event.
